BACKGROUND: On September 10th, 2024, Council approved a contract with Miller-Tippens Construction in the amount of $19,900,000.00. Per Council direction, the architect and staff met with the contractor to identify potential cost savings within the project plans by performing a Value Engineering Review which resulted in a potential cost savings to the project of approximately $967,106.00. Based upon the review, considerations were made for adjustments to the project scope resulting in Change Order 1.
The items to be included in Change Order 1 are VE#2A which is to remove all stabilization, curb and gutter, and paving at all areas on site in the amount $644,544 and VE#3 to install insulated wood stud interior wall framing in lieu of scheduled CMU in the amount $60,505. To clarify, the gravel parking lot option was one of the options to consider however that is not part of the change order. If the change order is approved, paving would be accomplished by the City under a separate contract. The total cost savings to this project for these two items is $705,049.00 and the new contract amount will be $19,194,951.00.
The other identified items are pending further review. These items include eliminating air conditioning from the restrooms/changing rooms and changing the building pad requirements based on existing soil conditions. It is anticipated another Change Order will be brought to the Council after additional review is complete.
